Has ne1 every tried running Av gas in a silvertop? mixes maybe? Im thinking but tryin it 4 a night and just want to know if the car will blow up lol

OMG so shiny! · by **Dell'Orto** » Mon Jan 03, 2005 5:54 pm

It wont blow up, but your 02 sensor wont like it much. Well, you can get away with it for a while, but continual use coats it in lead, and then it goes FUBAR

you do understand what av gas is aye?

aviation fuel... plane fuel >.> its got yummie lead in it.

im unsure of the octane rating of it though, however you can get 118 octane NON leaded fuel, costs you an arm and a leg, but i know you can get it ^_^.

Its about 101 octane, and costs about $1.36ish a litre. C16 costs considerably more.

...and it is HIGHLY illegal to use on the road.

performance boost from avgas?

about 30RWHP on a stock 20V. at least 60 if it is painted red and has a set of chromies :twisted:

Yeah, but the police have to have some evidence before they can fine you. I was wondering how they collect that evidence.

by **fangsport** » Mon Jan 03, 2005 11:18 pm

by taking a fuel sample all sorts of tests can be carried out.

specific gravity, boiling point, lead content, MON/RON...............................................

by **Dragger_Dan** » Mon Jan 03, 2005 11:25 pm

Isn't that gonna cost them more to get the sample sent to a specialist than the fine?

by **fangsport** » Mon Jan 03, 2005 11:29 pm

no, because if you decide to argue the point that you are not using avgas/ELF/TRICK etc and you are, and they prove it, YOU PAY!!!!!

by **Dragger_Dan** » Mon Jan 03, 2005 11:34 pm

Or, using the extra 30rwkw from the Avgas, you leave the area in a hurry and don't pay the $500. Sorry, this has turned into a stupid thread now, but I'm under the impression that they don't bother too much now as not enough people do it. I could be wrong, but who cares. What about a 50/50 mix? :twisted:

what part of 30RWHP on a stock(as in FWD) didn't you understand?

My bad, was only skim reading. Is it true that you can get a different type of 02 sensor that is compatable with race gas? Somebody may have been talking shit, but it could be useful as part of my next build

Since when do nz police need evidence before they hand out tickets?

You really dont understand sarcasm do you? Not to mention fuels.

Good point. And Dr-X, I do understand fuels. Just ask me....

by **Dr-X** » Tue Jan 04, 2005 12:04 am

Well, you seem pretty convinced of the extra 30rwhp from running avgas, judging by your previous post

and with that concludes our topic today "avgas 101 (or in a AE101!)" thanks to our new star pupil 'dragger dan' , who has now passed the test with flying colours(or a white/grey tinge on his exhaust) we can now enjoy scones and tea!!!!

well it does in a way >.>

run 10psi in set car a, on 96, then run it on avags >.> it wont ping and retard on avags, so youll get a performance increase, of course, if you wernt pinging on 96, then you wouldnt notice a thing
